Google has announced an update to NotebookLM, integrating Gemini 3.5 to improve how users work with their own notes and source materials.
Key changes in NotebookLM
The main addition is Gemini 3.5, which is meant to provide more precise and more reliable responses to user prompts. Beyond AI quality improvements, the update adds two important elements: a cloud computer component and expanded features for searching and citing sources. The goal is to make research and analytical work easier directly inside the application.
What does this mean for users?
For people using NotebookLM, the update mainly means smoother work with large volumes of information. Thanks to Gemini 3.5, the tool is expected to understand the context of notes and documents better, which should improve summaries, answers, and suggestions. The new source-search features also make it easier to verify information and create materials based on collected references.
What comes next?
The update is rolling out to all NotebookLM users. Google continues to expand its AI-based tools by integrating them into existing products to make them more useful. More detail about the update is available in The Verge article.
